Note that “Lu Ban” is of Chinese origin.

Sure, Vietnamese use these rulers from Lu Ban too.

Dear Developer,
I discovered this extension today via Sketchup Essentials. I absolutely love the Coordinates function. If we can get a version, where all three (x,y,z) coordinates can be dispalyed simultaneously, I am willing to pay for this. If you can please consider including this function, this extension will be the most powerfull coordinate generator in Sketchuo I have come accross with. Thank you very much,

You can switch on/off each coordinate separately.

It would be nice if the measurements were displayed according to the SketchUp settings. Thank you.

I think it’s better if it does not display according to SketchUp settings, it has own settings with more options compare to native units and can be quickly change without must go to Modeling Settings. For example, when you’re modeling in Imperial units, you even check dimension in Metric anytime you want.
